Become a feudal king from today

"Where did Miss Xu start talking about this?" Zhao Xu's expression changed slightly. ReadМ

Xu E must have some important information that he didn't know.

"Does Your Highness know that Zhang Kang has asked Yuan Li, the head of the Yuan family, for help? It just so happens that my master wants to deal with the Yuan family, so it is necessary to cooperate with Your Highness." Xu E said softly.

"Yuan family?" Zhao Xu's heart sank.

Zhang Kang had secretly threatened him with the Yuan family that day.

"Exactly. The Yuan family has been cultivating Yanzhou for many years and has an army of 150,000 Xuanjia troops. They are not scoundrels like the Zhang family." Xu E straightened the black hair on his forehead.

"But, who is this noble man?" Zhao Xu was a little angry.

It seems that I still have a long way to go. After all, compared to these natives, my foundation is too shallow.

"The noble man said that the time has come, and His Highness will know it."

"Then how to collaborate?"

"After receiving the news, the slave family will inform His Highness."

Zhao Xu frowned, this noble man was really noble, was he more noble than the prince?

"I will think about it." Zhao Xu suddenly felt unhappy, got up and walked out, too lazy to talk anymore.

Xu E stood up and said, "If your highness has some free time, you can come to Tianxiang Tower to relieve your boredom. I will look forward to your highness taking care of you from now on."

Zhao Xu raised his hand and strode away.

"Noble man? Apart from the emperor, is there anyone in the world who is more noble than the prince? As General Mo has seen, we can find out the details by arresting everyone in Tianxiang Tower and interrogating them."

Outside Tianxiang Tower.

Zhao Xu and everyone got on the horse, and Xu Lie looked upstairs.

He was also angry because he was scolded by that ringer.

Liu Fu looked at Xu Lie with a smile. Although he didn't go in, he heard a woman scolding Xu Lie.

Seeing Liu Fu's mean smile, Xu Lie realized what he was thinking and turned his head.

Zhao Xu reined up his horse and continued towards the North Camp. Hearing Xu Lie's angry words, he said to himself: "Whoever the noble person she is talking about is? At present, it seems that his interests do not conflict with the palace, and he seems to be at odds with the Yuan family. , I am far away in Yanzhou and have little information, so it may be beneficial to keep him here."

Liu Fu nodded slightly, "If you can claim to be a noble person in front of His Highness, you must be the Emperor..."

"It shouldn't be..." Zhao Xu was startled for a moment. How could the ninth prince's biological father send his son to such a land of tigers and wolves, so why would he send someone to secretly help him?

Besides, since he is the emperor, there is no need to deal with the Yuan family secretly.

However, because the Ninth Prince had lived in the palace for a long time, he did not have many contacts with powerful people.

Zhao Xu can't think of anyone who has this possibility.

Shaking his head, he rode forward.

The fourth floor of Tianxiang Building.

Xu E was half hidden by the window watching Zhao Xu and his entourage leave.

The maid in yellow beside her, Huan'er, said: "This King Yan is really a blessing in disguise. He has recovered from his illness after coming to Yanzhou, and both the master and the lady are helping him."

Xu E caressed her left arm gently and said with a chuckle: "You said that King Yan's madness has healed itself. Will he forget the past?"

Xiaohuan looked at King Yan and his entourage in the distance, "Madness is a brain disease, it's impossible to say for sure."

Xu E sighed slightly, "He is much more impressive than when he was in the capital three years ago, and he is not as submissive as he was."

Xiaohuan shook his head.

Six years ago, Xu Pei, the head of Qingfeng Village, was framed and killed by Pang Kun and the Zhang family.

Xu Pei's daughter, who was only eight years old at the time, escaped by chance.

After escaping down the mountain, he encountered an evil businessman and was taken to the capital. He met his current owner and practiced singing and dancing to prepare for the future.

Now six years have passed, and the childish child he once was has grown into a graceful and beautiful figure.

But her wish to avenge her father was not fulfilled. After getting the master's permission, she came to Yan County.

I never thought that I would encounter the assassination of King Yan again.

"A bowl of porridge exchanged a life six years ago. King Yan has made a profit." Liu Sanniang came in at this time.

She had heard about Xu E.

Xu E was abducted to the capital to escape from evil merchants, but she almost died of hunger, cold, and exhaustion.

He met the Ninth Prince who was traveling with his mother at that time. Seeing her lying on the roadside, the Ninth Prince gave her a bowl of hot porridge and saved her life.

Originally, with Tianxianglou's ability in Yan County, he could kill Pang Kun independently.

However, the master's instructions and Xu E's wishes made them unanimously decide to help King Yan.

Only then did King Yan escape the disaster.

"It's just that this time we take action, we are afraid that it will arouse the Zhang family's vigilance, so be careful in the future." Xu Sanniang said.

"Yes." Xu E agreed, staring blankly at the back.

…

Beida camp.

Lu Chang stood on the general stage to supervise the training of the royal soldiers.

Seeing the arrival of King Yan, he asked his lieutenants to continue commanding the soldiers to practice battle formations, and then he came up to meet him.

"Your Highness." Lu Chang clasped his fists.

Zhao Xu nodded, asked Lu Chang to excuse himself, and looked at the soldiers on the camp grounds.

At this time, the soldiers formed vertical columns and horizontal rows on the school field.

They are rehearsing battle formations in accordance with the command flags of the generals on the general stage.

"Is this a circular formation?" Zhao Xu pointed to the center of the school field.

The soldiers suddenly formed a circle at this time, with their shields drawn forward, and the spearmen stretched out their spears from the shields.

"Yes." Lu Chang responded.

Then the formation of the soldiers suddenly changed, like fish scales, with the front section protruding.

"The fish scale formation will be located in the middle and rear of the formation. The main troops are assembled in the center and divided into a number of small fish scale-shaped square formations. They are arranged in echelons and have a slightly convex front end. It is an offensive formation." Zhao Xu read.

When Lu Chang heard this, he looked at Zhao Xu in surprise.

At this time, the formation changed again. The soldiers were suddenly extremely scattered, the distance between them became larger, and the soldiers in the formation raised their flags. ,

"This is a sparse formation, a virtual but real formation, using a small number of troops to pretend to be a large army." Zhao Xu said with a smile.

In ancient times, fighting was not about a swarm of swarms rushing in and hacking indiscriminately.

Instead, they relied on soldiers forming formations.

When generals command operations, they often make their own formation responses based on the enemy's formation.

During the attack, the opponent's formation will continue to change.

Therefore, the outcome of a war often depends on whether one's own formation is in chaos.

Once there is chaos, defeat is almost certain.

Next, the soldiers changed several more formations, and Zhao Xu came out one by one.

Lu Chang was surprised and said: "Your Highness actually knows how to march and fight?"

He originally thought that in Yan County, apart from Chang Wei, he was definitely the number one person in the army.

Now that Zhao Xu had spoken out all the military formations so easily and understood their functions, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

"Your Highness is wise and powerful, so he naturally understands." Liu Fu immediately showed off his flattery spirit.

Lu Chang scratched his head and said, "I admire you."

Zhao Xu smiled, Liu Fu's flattery was a good opportunity.

After getting rid of the Du and Huang families and making ice and wine, everyone said that King Yan had a plan.

The soldiers in the army said that King Yan was kind, but when it came to marching and fighting, the generals were probably very arrogant.

It is necessary to let them know that they do not understand everything.

"Is this the battle formation taught by Chang Wei?" Zhao Xu climbed up to the high general point platform to see more clearly.

"Yes, before the general sets off, let the last general supervise the training temporarily." Lu Chang replied.

Zhao Xu had heard that Chang Wei admired Lu Chang very much. It was said that this boy was very strong and had good martial arts skills. It was difficult for him to have any rivals among the county soldiers and the personal army.

"Chang Wei said you are very good at fighting, Xu Lie, you practice with him." Zhao Xu took notice.

At present, he is seriously lacking in talents, whether in the military or in the government.

And if he wants to stabilize Yanjun and make Yanjun rich and powerful, he needs the help of suitable subordinates.

After all, as the King of Yan, he knew that there were many government affairs and it was impossible to do everything by himself.

Especially in the army, Chang Wei lost his backbone when he left, and had to ask Lu Chang, who was in charge of the county soldiers, to help him.

Therefore, he planned to merge the county soldiers into the pro-army.

Firstly, there is no need to divide it into two systems, and secondly, it is easier for him to manage directly.

To avoid the situation like before where the county soldiers were not under his control.

As for the public security of Yan County, it can be under the jurisdiction of Wuhou Division, which is specifically responsible for arrests.

After hearing this, Lu Chang became as excited as a fighting cock.

The first time he met Xu Lie, he wanted to fight him, and now he finally got his wish.

"Commander Xu, please!"

Among the guards from the capital, Xu Lie's martial arts was second only to Chang Wei.

Lu Chang would unintentionally show provocative looks every time he saw him, and he had long been unhappy.

Today I was scolded by the little girl again, so I had nowhere to vent my anger.

When he saw Lu Chang staring directly at him, he smiled solemnly and said, "Please."

"...There's a show to watch."

"I bet on Lieutenant Lu to win. You have never seen that Lieutenant Lu held down the pig that escaped with one hand this morning."

"The general asked Commander Xu to protect His Highness. Commander Xu must be extremely skilled in martial arts. He is a member of the Imperial Guard. They used to protect the Emperor."

"..."

The most boring thing in the army is that there is nothing else to do except training.

Lu Chang and Xu Lie came off the field and found a spot in the center of the school field.

The soldiers sat in a circle watching the show, all with their heads stretched out.

Zhao Xuan sat down on the general platform, and Liu Fu stood on one side, "Your Highness, I bet that Commander Xu will win."

At the critical moment, he still instinctively had a prejudice against the children of wealthy families like Lu Chang.

"I bet on Lu Chang." Zhao Xu looked at the field.

The reason why he put Lu Chang into the county army and trusted him was not without reason.

Before that, he had known Lu Chang.

According to the people of Yancheng, Lu Chang had never oppressed innocent people.

Although they often fight, they mostly fight against injustice and are regarded as righteous people.

With this in mind, he decided to use Lu Chang.

Rather than thinking about winning over the Lu family.

Of course, there are also members of the three families doing evil in Yan County.

But just like how he dealt with the Huang and Du families, he didn't kill them with a stick.

After all, even though they are a large clan, there are villains as well as good officials and generals.

"I'm sorry that I don't agree with this, but I'm willing to bet all my money on Xu Lie's victory." Liu Fu vowed.

Zhao Xu smiled and said nothing.
